The Man known as Raitei was a very different person from the Man known as Amano Ginji, yet they both were the same. Two sides of the same coin. One gentle, the other vicious; both fiercely protective of their friends/allies. They had a strange dynamic, the Emperor and his Kings. A physical relationship that went beyond the skin, and into the soul. A place of belonging, where no words were needed to explain the comfort they sought in each other. At least, that was the way Ginji saw it. He wasn't sure how Kazuki saw it, `cause sometimes Kazuki wouldn't join he and Shido, preferring to spend the time with Jubei, or sometimes he did join them, and sometimes even Jubei would, too. Mostly, though, it was just him and Shido. Ginji wasn't sure how Shido saw it, either, but figured it was a view similar to his own. Raitei didn't care how they saw it, just as long as they were at his back in battle.

Ginji watched Shido murmur quietly to his animals, and they chirped, chattered, purred, and growled their answers in return. Ginji had spent too much time around the Beast Master to not believe that he really could talk to animals. Sometimes Shido looked a lot like his beasts did, that same look in his eyes that said `you live only because I allow it, human.' Though Shido did once say that Ginji had the eyes of a wolf sometimes, as he watched over his pack. Ginji supposed this was true, and had given Shido a shrug and a small half smile and run his fingers through his hair and told Shido to rest, that he'd wake him when it was his shift to watch over the pack. Shido had smiled at that, and nipped playfully at Ginji's chin before resting his head in Ginji's lap and falling asleep.

Ginji thought Shido was beautiful, though not in a traditional sense. Shido's beauty was one similar to that of a wild animal, all coiled power and grace in a dangerously beautiful package. Ginji liked watching Shido move, all grace and power in fluid movements that were surprising coming from a guy as large as Shido.

Later, when Ginji would leave Mugenjou, he'd notice that Ban moved the same way Shido did.

~~

Ginji hated fighting. Raitei considered it Necessary, and that's why Raitei took over whenever there was fighting, because Raitei wanted to keep Ginji away from all that. Ginji always would fight though, and beat back the bastards from the Beltline and other smaller gangs who tried to challenge his rule over Lower Town. He finished off his opponents and walked away from the scene, not wanting his friends to see him mourn the lives so senselessly lost that day.

Shido ran into the room where the Volts normally slept, breathing heavily. "Raitei…"

"Hey, Shido."

"You disappeared after the fight… we were worried. Shiva told me you were here." Shiva was a lioness Shido had `liberated' from a traveling circus, and though Shiva wasn't actually her name, she allowed others to address her as such. She seemed to have taken a liking to Ginji and treated him as though he where one of her cubs. Shido knelt next to Ginji, cupping his cheek with his palm.

"I'm okay Shido. Just wanted to come home, that's all."

"Ginji…" Shido kissed him, and it was a relieved sort of kiss. A `Thank GOD you're alive!' kiss which turned into a `I'm going to ravage you now.' kiss, so Ginji let Shido control the kiss for a bit, then Ginji rolled them over so Shido was under him.

"I want to be on top this time." Shido snarled a bit at this and was about to flip them over again when Ginji quirked an eyebrow at him and sunk his teeth into Shido's throat, hard enough to hurt, but not to break the skin. Shido made a strangled noise of pleasure in the back of his throat and tilted his head back, exposing more of his neck to Ginji; a sign of submission. Ginji moaned and licked and nibbled his way down Shido's neck and collarbone as Shido keened soft mewls of pleasure into the air around them; large hands burying themselves in Ginji's hair.

"Ginji…" Shido shifted to help Ginji remove his vest and shirt, hoping to speed up the process.

Ginji nipped at his hands. "Let me. I want to see you, Shido."

Shido's hands fell to his sides as Ginji mapped out his bare chest, tracing it with gentle fingertips. Shido arched into the touches, breath coming in short, quick gasps which turned into a near sob as Ginji's hands fluttered over the button fly of Shido's jeans, pressing against the near painful hard on that was there. Shido growled low in his throat and hauled his Emperor up to kiss him harshly. The kiss became softer as it trailed along Ginji's jaw and down his neck as Shido took off Ginji's shirt and jacket. Ginji pushed Shido away gently, and mapped the same path his fingers had taken with his tongue. Shido writhed under Ginji's tongue, moans and whines getting louder the closer Ginji got to the waistband of his pants. "Ginji…" Ginji opened Shido's pants and pushed them down, taking his socks and shoes with them as he pulled Shido's pants off, for Shido never bothered with underwear. Ginji let his eyes trail over Shido's naked form, taking in every dip, curve, edge and scar; it was almost as if he were making sure his friend was still there.

"Shido, you're so beautiful, you know that?"

Shido laughed uncomfortably at that. He was in no way shy about his body, but never understood what was so beautiful about it. Kazuki's body was beautiful, but Shido's? Not so much. "Right."

"I'm serious!" Ginji bent his head, lapping at the tip of Shido's erection. "The beauty of the beast and all that." Shido moaned, trying to thrust into Ginji's warm mouth, but Ginji pinned his hips as he suckled on the head of Shido's erection.

As Ginji's mouth worked him, Shido's hands scrabbled and clawed at the blankets beneath him, his body coiling like a spring as orgasm approached. "Ginji, I'm gonna-" Ginji stopped his ministrations, coating his fingers with his saliva and the fluid leaking from Shido's erection. "-fucking kill you, you bastard!" Shido hissed at him, glaring. Shido had almost forgotten Ginji almost always pulled that stunt. Next time he was gonna use it on Ginji; see how much he liked it.

Ginji kissed the tip of Shido's nose. "Right-o. Up." Ginji drummed his fingers against Shido's hip. Shido lifted his hips and Ginji slid his finger inside Shido, working it in and out before adding a second one. Shido gave a strangled high pitched whine as Ginji hit that one spot inside him that made him see stars. Shido kissed every inch of skin his mouth could reach, licking and biting and nuzzling as Ginji's fingers stretched him. He could never get used to the feeling of being stretched, which was mostly why he preferred to be on top, though he was beginning to think it was the fact that he hardly ever bottomed was what made the sensation so unfamiliar, but then Ginji hit that spot again and all thought processes stopped aside from `More. Deeper. Harder.'

Shido's legs tightened around Ginji, pressing him closer. "Get on with it!" Shido's voice was more of a growl than anything, rough and aroused.

Ginji pumped Shido to gather more of the fluid dribbling down Shido's erection. "Patience is a virtue, Shido." Ginji practically purred into his ear. "And we have so few of them as is." Ginji's eyes were fluttering as he stroked his own erection, electricity snapping in the air.

"Your point being?"

Ginji, looking more like Raitei now, smirked and entered Shido, slowly.

Shido gasped, eyes wide as Ginji slid inside him, electricity snapping faster and harsher against the air and between their bodies. "Shido…" the name was said like a prayer as Ginji held stock still, waiting for Shido to adjust to his intrusion.

"Ginji, damn it, I'm not going to break, Ginji, just move, Ginji Ginji Ginji-" Shido was babbling and Ginji would've laughed at the normally silent Shido if he didn't want this so badly. He began moving slowly, and Shido's babbling became more frantic as each thrust became harder and faster, as per his request. Ginji began to stroke Shido in time with his thrusting, electricity sparking around his hand and Shido threw his head back and howled as his body tightened with his release.

Ginji growled, thrusting into Shido once or twice more before he came, lightning crashing as rain began to fall outside.

~~

He never thought in a million years Ginji would leave them. It never even entered his head, and now, here he was staring at Kazuki like he had grown another head.

"I'm sorry. What?"

"Ginji-san left."

"No."

"Shido-"

"NO." Shido snarled. "He didn't leave. He's just… away on urgent business. He'll be back by nightfall, you'll see."

By nightfall, an inhuman howl of rage and hurt echoed throughout all of Lower Town.

The next day, Shido was nowhere to be found.

~~

A black limousine pulled outside of the dingy alleyway Shido and his friends were staying in. An elegant looking man stepped out and walked over to him. "Beast Master." Shido glared at the man. "You are Beast Master Fuyuki Shido, aren't you?"

"If I am?"

"I've come to offer you a job."

Shido smiled, not at all nicely. Guarding a stolen violin was one way of meeting up with his Emperor again, after all.
